I see.
Then the only problem is that LVS-DR only receives (and routes) packets whose
destination is itself.
If LVS-DR takes every packet and selects an ethernet device to be used for
routing, then it may be used to duplicate(to give high-availability or to
balance load) network devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, etc.(It is
the functionality of L4-switches as I know)
But this is not look simple.
